I don't want to go inactive!! My two months were up last month and I requested a waiver so I have to submit 200 this month!! I am soo stressed about having nothing working! I have been so sick for 2 months now, in and out of the doctors test after test and still we dont know what is wrong with me. As you can imagine PC is not on my mind but the thought of losing everything scares me I dont want to start over!!
I am trying to have an open house/mystery host this Friday at my house but no one has RSVPed yes yet. I am starting to make calls tomorrow.
Is there anyone that knows any other way I can sell $200 by Monday at midnight?
 
Hit people at the job for your husband or your family. Ask your family. If you can find 10 people to donate $20 to your cause, you'll stay active. Start from the beginning and do the list as you did when you first started PC. It's hard now because times are tough, but you'll do it.
 
I would call HO and check but I think you have until April 30th if your waiver was accepted.
 
I know this sounds lame ... but PRAY!

I was not in danger of going inactive but still ...

I had a party scheduled for March 8. That was the day we got hit by a HUGE blizzard! I was SO angry! Only one person (who had promised to order before) was planning to come, so I begged her not to risk her life.

I made nachos and brownies in case the neighbors trudged down ... my roomate and I ate them instead.

The following Monday, I got a call from someone who had been the recipient of one of my catalogs a month earlier. She had an order to place. A few things here, a few things there ... none really big ... but it totaled $127! I called the girl who wanted to come to the show and she ordered $60 just to get the bamboo spoons! I ordered a scraper just to get the show to $200!

I'm sorry you've been sick ...
 


Hi there, I understand your concerns about going inactive and the stress it can bring. It sounds like you have been going through a lot with your health and I hope you are feeling better soon. In the meantime, let's focus on your Pampered Chef business. Have you considered reaching out to friends and family for support? They may be willing to host a party or make a purchase to help you reach your goal. You can also utilize social media to reach a wider audience and offer special discounts or promotions to encourage sales. Remember, every little bit counts and you still have a few days to reach your goal. Stay positive and keep pushing, I believe in you! Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. Best of luck!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What strategies can I use to reach $200 in sales by Monday?

To reach $200 in sales by Monday, consider hosting a flash sale or a special promotion for your customers. Utilize social media to showcase your products and create urgency. Reach out to previous customers and offer them exclusive deals or discounts. Additionally, consider bundling products to increase the average order value.

How can I leverage social media to boost my sales quickly?

Leverage social media by posting engaging content that highlights your products. Use stories and live videos to demonstrate how to use the items effectively. Encourage your followers to share your posts and consider running a giveaway to increase visibility. Don't forget to include a clear call-to-action directing them to your sales link.

Should I reach out to my existing customers for last-minute sales?

Yes, reaching out to existing customers is a great strategy. They are already familiar with your products and may be more inclined to make a purchase. Send personalized messages or emails offering them a special discount or a limited-time offer to encourage them to buy again.

How can I create urgency to encourage quick purchases?

Create urgency by emphasizing limited-time offers, such as discounts that expire soon or exclusive deals for the first few customers. Use phrases like "while supplies last" or "only available until Monday" in your marketing materials. You can also set a countdown timer on your social media posts or website to visually represent the urgency.
